The Book of Ephesians (The Apostle Paul's letter to the Church at Ephesus) is one of the richest of the "small" epistles: It is a complete "Nuts and bolts" treatise on how we are to live, as believers in Jesus Christ. This commentary takes the book, passage by passage, verse by verse, and "unpacks" the book, so as to encourage meditation of the meaning and application of the truth to the believer's life.

Speaking much of suffering and future glory, Peter alludes to numerous biblical doctrines as he moves swiftly along to implore the reader’s commitment to various spiritual sacrifices. But some of these spiritual sacrifices have a decidedly politically incorrect nature, so that they do not rest well with our modern, “progressive” culture. No doubt many preachers conveniently avoid an exhaustive look at this letter for this reason. But Peter offers no apologies for these seemingly insensitive commands; rather, he provides terse theological arguments as to why these spiritual sacrifices ...

Practical Lectures on Romans: Greatest Book in the Bible Unpack the foundational doctrines of the Christian faith through the explosive, hard-hitting, and deeply practical pulpit teaching of the "Texas Tornado." The Epistle to the Romans has been called the theological backbone of the New Testament—a masterpiece of divine logic that lays out the absolute ruin of man, the majesty of justification by faith, and the grand plan of God's sovereign grace. For many, however, its deep theological arguments can feel dense and difficult to apply to the messy realities of daily life. In Practical ...

Teachings for Beginners is not a book of inspirational quotations. It is a training manual disguised as plain speech. It is for readers who are tired of collecting spiritual ideas and ready to be corrected by something older, harder, and more honest than modern self-help. These sayings come from a traditional Daoist cultivation environment where progress is not measured by moods, visions, or clever interpretations, but by conduct: how you speak when irritated, what you do when nobody is watching, how quickly you recover after disturbance, and how steadily you can live without craving drama,...

The Children’s Fire forges a trail into Britain’s wild and ancient Celtic past. In the winter of 2009 Mac Macartney walked from his birthplace in England across Wales to the island of Anglesey, once the spiritual epicenter of Late Iron Age Britain, navigating by the sun and the stars, with no map, compass, stove, or tent, and in the coldest winter for many years. The Children’s Fire records that journey, and seeks to lay bare the aching loss of knowing and understanding sacredness as it applies to everything ordinary that brings joy to the human heart.
